I am thinking about installing between joist UFH in an old 1930's house with 200mm solid walls.
The room I am looking to fit it to is as follows:
18m2 floor space
2.6m height
2 external walls one which contains a large bay window which has pretty crap efficiency due to metal internal spacer bars.
The room is currently fitted with a 1200 x 600 type 22 radiator which has an output of 2000w.
My question - do I need the UFH system to also output 2000w?
If yes, I would need a between joist system that outputs ~ 110w/m2 and I am struggling to find something like this. Most of the systems output between 60-80w/m2 and require 55 deg. C flow temp to achieve the higher end of that range.
Also, what sort of flow temp should I be targeting to maximise efficiency of the condensing boiler?
Renovations would also include insulting between joists, insulating both external walls and changing the window for a more modern unit.
Thanks in advance.
